Hi...
For a few years I've had the Moebius lighting kit for the Jupiter 2 sitting here. Having not built the kit as yet, I hadn't opened the lighting kit box to test anything inside. I did a quick check tonight without unbinding any of the wiring, just enough to see if everything lights up. It does, but...
The problem is that my fusion core board traces in the wrong direction -- it should 'spin' clockwise as seen from underneath, looking up. This may seem a trivial thing but for me it's a very characteristic feature of the ship. My unit spins counter-clockwise instead, as do most of the others I saw in YouTube videos of other people's builds. It appears the earlier original issue of the lighting kit spun correctly. My fusion core board has a date of 2016 stamped on it.
Is there any way to reverse the spin with this unit? Is there an adjustment somewhere?
Also, judging from the writing on the AC adapter it seems this kit is a 5V system. What would I need to do to make it run off a 9V battery? I'd also like to add a few short Easy LED strips into it...what would that do to it if it were 9V? Or would they need to be wired and powered separately?
Thank you so much...
